Bug Description

Currently snap let us to run multiple instances of the same snap on the same system and all common snaps usually display in gnome menu then user launch needed apps through it.

But once installed multiple instances of same snap eg: chromium, then we cannot recognize each at all; eg:
chromium web browser
chromium web browser
chromium web browser
chromium web browser

so we have give up app menu and fire multiple terminal commands to recognize and launch every time while we could do that within two clicks in menu (1 --> open menu | 2 --> scroll/ or open required snap)

Feature Request
https://snapcraft.io/docs/parallel-installs

(1) Display the parallel alias/name in brakets **(I believe that's very easy to implement)**
[1st snap] sudo snap install chromium or install via snap store
[2nd snap] sudo snap install chromium_offici
[3rd snap] sudo snap install chromium_hobbi etc

>> gnome menu/ or other menu
chromium web browser
chromium web browser (offici)
chromium web browser (hobbi)
chromium web browser (store)

And see below GUI example for understand that properly
